masking of markings

two-way roadway is specifically prohibited

Sections 3B.02 and 3B.10

Minimum taper lengths for longitudinal lines

changed from Standard to Guidance

– Urban: 100 feet – Rural: 200 feet

Section 3B.04

White Lane Line Markings

Dotted (not broken) lane lines shall be

used for non-continuing lanes:

- Lane drops (wide dotted)

- Auxiliary lanes (wide dotted)

- Acceleration lanes (normal width dotted)

- Deceleration lanes (normal width dotted)

Applies on freeways, expressways, and

conventional roads

Lane drops on

Deceleration Lanes

Compliance date for replacing

existing broken lane lines with

dotted lane lines for

non-continuing lanes:

• December 31, 2016 or resurfacing,

whichever occurs first

• May be removed

Section 3B.05 – Start and end points of

channelizing lines adjacent to neutral area

in exit ramp gore are now Standards

lines shall

end at the

physical

Channelizing lines

shall start at the

theoretical gore

Section 3B.05 – Start and end points of

channelizing lines adjacent to neutral area

in entrance ramp gore are now Standards

Channelizing lines for

tapered entrance ramps:

- shall start at the

physical gore*

- shall end at ½ the

physical gore to the

theoretical gore

* OR shall

end at the

Section 3B.09

Lane reduction markings (different from other non-continuing lanes)

• Lane line – NO CHANGE from 2003

• Lane reduction arrows should be used if speed limit is > 45 mph [new w/ 2009] – Not applicable to typical parallel accel. lanes,

– May use lane-reduction arrows in long acceleration lanes based on engineering judgment

• OPTION to delete edge line and delineators in transition for low-speed urban locations with curbs [new w/ 2009]

Section 3B.11 – Optional use of

RPMs around noses of raised

medians, curbs, or islands

Section 3B.11 – Internally

illuminated RPMs shall be steadily

illuminated (not flashed)

Chapter 4N requirements and limitations on use

Sections 3B.13 and 3B.14 – Guidance against use of RPMs with

right-hand edge lines has been softened for some conditions

Should not be used unless engineering

judgment indicates:

- benefits of enhanced delineation

outweigh possible impacts to

bicycles using shoulder, and

- spacing of RPMs is close enough to

avoid misinterpretation as a broken

line on wet night.
